Japan says the water release is safe, noting that the International Atomic Energy Agency has also concluded that the impact it would have on people and the environment was"negligible." "Prime Minister Kishida explained that the data monitored since last month's discharge has been made public in a prompt and highly transparent manner. And that no problem has arisen from a scientific standpoint," Hikariko Ono, press secretary at Japan's foreign ministry, told reporters.
"Unfortunately, some countries have been taking uncommon actions such as suspending all imports of Japanese marine food products in response to the recent discharge into the sea," Ono said without naming any countries.
